Is your garage door opener not working? Are you pushing the button but nothing is happening? You may be able to identify the problems on your own without calling the garage door repair service. Below are the tips for diagnosing the opener issues without the help of a professional.

Check Sensors: Safety sensors prevent an overhead door from opening and/or closing when an object is detected in the way of the sensor beam. These sensors perform a crucial job to prevent a potentially hazardous event. Make sure the beam is not blocked. Garage door sensors may also accumulate dirt and may need to be wiped off. They may also lose their alignment which might need to be fixed by a garage door repair opener expert.

Check Operators– It might sound simple, but there are times when the battery may have died in your car remote and you may able to activate your overhead door from the wall unit. If you notice any strange flashes in your car remote, it might be indicating a diagnostic code which can be deciphered using the instruction manual.

Check the Batteries– While it is easy to change the car remote batteries, in few cases; you may find that your remote is functioning fine, but the wall unit has stopped working. Check the source of power for your door opener unit to see if it is battery powered too.

Check Fuses– Your home’s electrical source powers your overhead door opener. Make sure the electrical breaker has not tripped. If the breaker trips even after it has been re-set, call a garage door repair service right away.

If nothing else works, you may have troubles with your overhead door hardware or the opener system itself. It’s always best to call a professional to diagnose the system.

Remember, if nothing works, you can always pull the emergency release handle to open and close your garage door manually.
